The Sphagnum World

(The Moss Forest - The Sphagnum World - 04)
On 3 April 2011 we took this and the following photos of a growth of sphagnum
moss before all the fine feathery tips had opened. According to the literature,
there are between 151 and 300 species of sphagnum moss, which when dried is sold
commercially as peat moss. While living, sphagnum moss can hold up to 20 times
its dry weight in water, which is very similar to most fresh green vegetables.Previous |

Presented here are just a few of the countless components of God's creation.
Just as we cannot have human and animal life without water and plants, neither
can we have lasting peace without love and compassion. It is our hope and
prayer that this series will motivate people to live and act in a cruelty-free
manner; that we would no longer hurt or destroy each other, the animals or our
environment.
